VT-X in MSI Z270 PC Mate

[afzal.ballim]

I have a desktop with:
MSI Z270 PC Mate motherboard
i7-7700k CPU
32GB ram
M2 SSD main drive
Windows 10 Pro 1809

I am looking to use Windows Sandbox, however, it isn't in the list of windows components available.
I installed and ran the Intel Processor Identification Utility which says that VT-x is not supported, which I believe may be the problem.

I checked in the Z270 bios settings, and both Intel Virtualization Tech and Intel VT-D tech are enabled. I don't see a setting for VT-X.

So: Does Windows Sandbox need VT-X?
If so: Does the Z270 PC Mate support it and how do I turn it on?

OK, thanks. I misread it as 1803!

I'd still like to understand what I need to do to activate VT-X though
